Dalton Republican state Rep. Kasey Carpenter is facing criticism after a photo of him dressed in blackface has been circulating on social media. The grainy photo shows Carpenter posing alongside his wife at a party with his white skin painted brown. Carpenter said the photo was taken at a Chattanooga bar about 12 years ago when he was in his 30s. He said it was a costume party where guests dressed like power couples, and they chose to dress like Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, who were married at the time. In a phone call Monday, Carpenter called the getup...

Poor Gavin Newsom. Who knew he grew up poor, had to hustle to stay alive, resorting to Wonder Bread and Mac-n-Cheese for meals, according to his latest guest appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast? Most poor families back in the 1970’s and 1980’s ate generic, day-old store-brand bread, discounted canned soup and meats, and government cheese. I knew skinny poor kids. Here is the “All the Smoke” podcast: Notice during the podcast video Newsom slips into some street slang, claiming “It was about payin’ the bills, man.” “Wonder bread and Mac ‘n cheese. That’s how I grew up, bro.”...

The governor of California, whose dad was the attorney for the billionaire Getty family, went full Hillary-Clinton-and-hot-sauce in his interview with the "All the Smoke" podcast: Yes, Gavin Newsom is just like your average rags to riches NBA story of a poor kid, shootin' hoops in the backyard, and who never would have made it out of the neighborhood if it wasn't for ballin'. Is anyone, other than that podcast host, buying this from Newsom? Anyone? SNIP

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been accused of racism after citing his underwhelming SAT score during a chat with a black elected official over the weekend. “I’m not trying to impress you, I’m just trying to impress upon you, ‘I’m like you. I’m not better than you.’ I’m a 960 SAT guy,” Newsom told Atlanta mayor Andre Dickens during a Sunday night event promoting his forthcoming memoir, “Young Man in a Hurry”. “And I’m not trying to offend anyone,” the potential 2028 Democratic contender went on. “I’m not trying to act all there if you got 940 … You’ve never...

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from.” “And in between the finger pointing there was grieving. On Friday the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism, but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this.” ~~ video clip of President Trump ~~ “Gotcha.

Comedian Druski is coming under fire for a “white face” performance in which he donned incredibly realistic makeup and proceeded to cosplay as a racist NASCAR fan. The black comedian, 30, looked unrecognizable after he painted his entire face, arms and torso to a believably Caucasian tone — and even added some extra detail to the bit with a farmer’s tan sunburn at a recent NASCAR race. He completed the redneck character’s look with a mullet, beard, American flag cowboy hat and a pair of overalls with no shirt revealing American flag tattoos. SNIP Great, now we have Druski cosplaying...

Disney-owned ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel blasted President Donald Trump and the Congressional Republican-backed “Big Beautiful Budget Bill” for defunding abortion mill operator Planned Parenthood and claimed it offers “life-saving care.” The far-left TV host took to his BlueSky account on Sunday to plead for people to support the abortionists and urged his fans to call their Senators to oppose the budget cuts. “Donald Trump’s BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL wants to defund Planned Parenthood and leave more than a million patients without access to care. Call your Senators to let them know you support the life-saving work they do. #IFightForPP,” he...

I’m not ready. I have to get there where I'm ready for either scenario,' Kimmel told Joe Scarborough Late night host Jimmy Kimmel said during an interview on Wednesday that he was not "mentally prepared" for Vice President Kamala Harris potentially losing the election to former President Trump.

A resurfaced video of Howard Stern wearing blackface and using the N-word during a skit has sparked fury ahead of his sit down with Kamala Harris. The 1993 sketch features Stern, 70, sporting black face paint and white lips while repeatedly using the racial slur. The bit was performed as a parody of Ted Danson's infamous blackface performance alongside then-girlfriend Whoopi Goldberg which came out in the same year.

Harris went after Donald Trump for his false claims about FEMA in the wake of devastating storms in the Southeast. "It's profound and it is the height of irresponsibility and, frankly, callousness," Harris said of Trump's claims on ABC's "The View. "Lives are literally at stake right now."

Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump lacks empathy on a basic level while discussing the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Co-host Ana Navarro said, “Talk about something you would do differently from Donald Trump. Right now, there is a monster storm barreling toward my state of Florida, a place that’s still reeling from Hurricane Helene. Trump is lying, claiming that the Biden administration is intentionally withholding aid from the areas where Republicans live and that FEMA funds are being redirected to migrants. Ironically, that is something he did in...

Kamala Harris said there is nothing she would change in terms of what President Joe Biden has done during their time in the White House. 'There is not a thing that comes to mind,' Harris said. Her comments were made to the hosts of ABC's The View when she appeared on the show Tuesday morning for a softball interview where she was fawned over. Whoopi Goldberg introduced her as 'the next president of the United States.'

Billy Dee Williams said that he believes actors should be able to do what they want to do, including blackface. The comments were made on Bill Maher's show, "Club Random with Bill Maher." Williams called attention to Laurence Olivier's performance in "Othello," where he wore blackface. "When he did 'Othello,' I fell out laughing. He stuck his a** out and walked around because black people are supposed to have big a**es." Following the comments, Maher replied: "Today, they would never let you do that." "Why?" Williams responded. "You should do it. If you're an actor, you should do anything you...

Megyn Kelly lashed out at “sanctimonious leftists” in Hollywood for their “hypocrisy” in embracing Trump-bashing Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel on Monday despite the fact that the late-night star once wore blackface for a comedy skit that made fun of basketball legend Karl Malone. Kelly, who was fired by NBC in 2018 over comments she made about the controversial topic, lambasted the Oscar attendees “who laughed and curried favor with the man who wore blackface so many times, he’s second only to Justin Trudeau in his fondness for the practice.” On her SiriusXM podcast Monday, she noted that the audience at...

A group of teenage girls were caught on camera allegedly testing dark makeup to do blackface inside a Boston Sephora, with a staffer slamming their chaperone over the “incredibly offensive” act. The group of three girls were seen in a viral TikTok video trying the makeup testers at the Sephora store in the Prudential Center, with two of them covering their faces with cosmetics meant for darker skin tones. Temi Ojora, a University of Southern California track and field athlete who filmed the girls in the now-private video, described the scene as “genuinely so disgusted and disturbed.”

SNIP Rodgers criticized Kimmel on “The Pat McAfee Show,” saying, “There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, who are really hoping [the list of unsealed names] doesn’t come out,” adding, “If that list comes out, [I] definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.” Kimmel responded to Rodgers on Tuesday, tweeting, “Dear (PROFANITY)[sic] : for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any ‘list’ other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality.” The late night host...
